Monday Cute: Bender’s Baby (No, Not Like When He Adopted Kids. No, Not Like When He Was a Baby)

by Susana Polo | 9:34 am, June 11th, 2012


At this point in Futurama’s history, we’ve got a lot of back history to draw on, and while it might not be on the level of “The Simpsons Did It” (an episode of South Park where the B plot is entirely founded on the number of crazy plots that have appeared on the show), there’s still things to think about here. In an episode where Bender and a vending machine have a robot baby (and now that I think about it some more I’m not sure why I felt the need to specify that it was a robot…) what are the odds that there will be any references made to that time that Bender adopted twelve orphans in order to collect the cumulative $1,200 a week government stipend, or the time that Bender and Amy lead the robosexual revolution. Or that time that we saw Bender himself as a baby. Or that time that the whole crew were babies.

Well, either way, I’m counting this bucktoothéd be-diapered half bending robot half vending machine who I hope is named Vender as today’s Monday Cute. I mean, look at it playing with blocks:

Oh, did I mention that Futurama is back next Wednesday?

    Bender also had a son that he traded to the Robot Devil for the use of his Army of the Damned. That was in the Beast With a Billion Backs movie.

    “what are the odds that there will be any references made to… the time that Bender and Amy lead
    the robosexual revolution.”

    Which managed to ignore not only the fact that Bender was already in a relationship with a human (Lucy Liu’s head) beforehand with no mention of some sort of anti-robosexuality laws, but ignore the fact that most of the supposedly pro-robosexuals of the crew were very anti-robosexual in the previous episode.

    (Sorry, I just hate that Bender/Amy episode for the obnoxious and insulting commentary on gay marriage that simply didn’t work)
